Process

I met them at a campus career fair and was interviewed the next day on campus.

I completed two 30-minute sessions, during which they asked behavioral and technical questions.

The week after, I received a call from a recruiter informing me that I had an offer. A few days later, I got an email with the official letter and details about upcoming events for more information.
